Hyndland Bowling Club was founded in 1904 by Mr Hugh M Mackie, CA. He had recently come to the district, and missed the bowling facilities of his native Stewarton. The open space in Queensborough Gardens appeared an admirable site for a bowling green. Soon the proprietors of the ground, Messrs Duncanson and Henderson, were approached, and by December 1904, the club-house was ready. The first Opening Day was on 5th May 1905.
Hyndland Bowling Club in 1996
In 1931, because accommodation for all the teams playing on Match days had become impossibly cramped, the members approved an extension to the club-house, comprising a social room, kitchen and ladies' room. This work was completed the following year. In 1996, the Bowling Club, with its neat green, and well-kept club-house, still enhances the heart of Hyndland.
